Texas Football Team News
With four straight top-five recruiting classes, highlighted by the top-ranked 2025 class, Sarkisian has built a program capable of recharging on an annual basis. The Longhorns could see as many as a dozen players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, likely including quarterback Quinn Ewers. Manning, however, has the talent and pedigree to potentially be an upgrade.
The next generation of the famous Manning quarterback family, Arch Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, played well in place of Ewers when he was injured in 2024. Top receivers Matthew Golden and Isaiah Bond could move on to the NFL, but the Longhorns are loaded with young talent such as Wingo, DeAndre Moore Jr. and five-star freshman Kaliq Lockett.
Sarkisian was built largely through recruiting, but he played a strategic role in the transfer portal, landing key pieces such as Ewers and Bond in recent seasons. The Longhorns have added four players in the portal so far in this class and lost 10, including wide receiver Johntay Cook, a former five-star recruit who saw limited playing time this season.
